BARNSLEY, Ky. (AP) — Devin Johnson’s life was uprooted for a second time when a tornado flattened his home over the Memorial Day weekend — on the same lot in Kentucky where another twister left him homeless in 2021.
Johnson, 21, watched Tuesday as workers used chain saws to cut into the wreckage of the trailer he called home with his grandparents and girlfriend. It was an all-too-familiar scene for his family.
Their previous home in the tiny western Kentucky community of Barnsley was destroyed by another tornado during a terrifying night of storms in December 2021 that killed 81 people in the Bluegrass State.
“We never thought that it would happen again,” Johnson said.
Amid all the uncertainty as they start over again, there’s one thing they’ve decided on, he said.
“All we know for sure is we’re not going back here,” Johnson said. “It’s going to have so many memories of us losing everything.”
